Yate Town achieved their greatest-ever victory last night as they reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time ever. They beat Newport in extra time - a club 88 places above them in non-league football.

All the more remarkable considering they're at the bottom of their league and most of the players have other jobs. Chris Spittles reports.

Yate Town have re-written the history books after pulling off a remarkable victory over Blue Square Premier leaders Newport County. It means they've set up a meeting with Cheltenham Town in the First Round Proper of the FA Cup.

Scott Thomas and Matt Groves both scored in extra-time to send Rob Cousins' side marching.
